Grant Daniel Long Report
A large yarding was on offer at Dalby today, with a solid pool of buyers in attendance. Although, the southern operators seen in recent weeks were absent. Backgrounder steers continued to attract strong support, while backgrounder heifers slipped by 5–10c/kg. Feeder steers remained firm, however feeder heifers eased slightly, particularly in the secondary lines. Grown steers, heifers and cows trended cheaper in response to the larger yarding, with heavy cows losing around 10c/kg, while store cows held firm.
